JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a manga/anime series and a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.

Overview[]

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure[1] is a manga series created by Hirohiko Araki. It was first published in 1987 in Weekly Shōnen Jump, and is to this day still in production with more than 900 chapters published in 118 volumes. It is usually considered one of the most influential manga ever made.

Setting itself apart from most other anime series, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is known for using western 1980s and 1990s pop-rock songs as end credits themes, who served as inspiration for Araki while he was drawing the manga, being himself fascinated by Western culture. "Roundabout" by Yes, which was the first season's end credits theme, notably became an Internet meme to denote cliffhangers, usually paired with the "To Be Continued" arrow showing at the end of episodes from the anime.

Rips[]

During the reboot (June 17 - July 9), arrangements of songs from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl / Black & White / Black 2 & White 2 soundfonts were uploaded to the channel, all of which used the mix name "Alpha Mix".

On July 25, "Jotaro Kujo Battle - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven" was uploaded. On August 25, "Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town (Unused Game Version) - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven" was uploaded. These two rips are the most popular JoJo rips, as of July 2017.

After July, fans started requesting rips referencing JoJo on the comments of many SiIvaGunner videos. SiIvaGunner parodied these requests in the August 24 rip "Miracle Night (Stardust Mix) - THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Stars".

Then, on September, the anime was mostly referenced in an ironic way: the SiIvaGunner crew started uploading rips such as blue balls rips, unsynced mashups, and other switcheroos. On September 10 especially, "intentionally bad" JoJo rips were uploaded along with Bean mourning rips in order to anger fans. Most of these rips were compiled under the joke album JOEJOE'S BIZZAERE JOJOKE, initially advertised as an album titled 7 STAND DAD.

"JoJoke" (i.e. a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference) is one of the most popular comment memes on the channel. Mocking these early JoJo fans asking for rips, people started to draw comically far-fetched conclusions to link any rip to the series (e.g. "Mario is Italian. Zepelli is Italian."), traditionally concluding their "analyses" by "What a beautiful JoJoke!", itself based on the mistranslated quote "What a beautiful Duwang!" from a Chinese fan-translation of the Diamond is Unbreakable manga. Many derivatives then started to appear, using the same logical fallacy to relate any rips to anything.

JoJo is directly involved in three game playlists:

These playlists actually feature very few songs from the actual games and actually more prominently use songs from the anime adaptation that popularized the series for western audiences, despite them not being in the games; Even real tracks from the games are usually replaced by tracks from the anime (for example, "Jotaro Kujo Battle - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven" is a real song from the game, but the song being used is actually "Stardust Crusaders" by Yugo Kanno, Jotaro's leitmotif in the anime). All Star Battle also almost exclusively features "BLOODY STREAM" rips.

Many early rips of the said games that featured songs from the anime adaptation tended to use variants of "Unused X" as the mix name as well as no main mix being covered, likely playing off them not actually being in the game, though later rips would use other mix names as well as main mix.
